Who we are
QMA started as a joint initiative by Smaranda Krings, Osama Zatar and Justina Špeirokaitė and quickly grew to include many more people. Apart from the people listed below, we have external curators working with the QMA Artist Collective, music professionals supporting us in the implementation of QMA On Stage, cultural workers joining at various QMA Artist Consultations and many more colleagues supporting us on different projects. QMA is an initiative formally operated by the association SolidarityPlus.
